10 killed in a gun attack in France.

[Condottiere 40K]

It's an interesting confluence of historical trends that created this particular panorama, oil funded Saudi fundamentalism, Pakistani paranoia, Soviet adventurism, and American proxy wars.

[Mary The Quene]

No you claimed that Hesbollah condemned this. Hesbollah has also used terror tactics in the past. The difference is that today media are more focused in Sunni terrorism than Iran. In the 80s media were against shias

I did not claimed it but apparently Nasrallah did so. I'm sorry for just sharing that piece of information.

Ofcourse there's more focus on sunni terrorism .............

Are you an admirer of Saddam?

[Papay]

Saddam was a dictator but the problem has less to do with Saddam and more to do with how the west overthew his regime. Its like suffering from something and not condemning the doctor who did a botched surgery and the patient died. If chaos reigns in Iraq, its a result of the botched surgery not of Saddam

[pajomife]

Well,the Sunday march with many world politicians,will be a magnet for those lone wolfs.
And another point to be discussed,this seems to be a strike against the west,obviously,but seems to be a competition between AQ and ISIS,the first one seems to be more able to act in west.As they want contradicts the actual ISIS glamour.

So the "hostage" hid himself the whole day in a box

[Nelfe]

Yes, and he phoned to the police and gave them many valuable informations on the two terrorists (what they did, etc.) and the plan of the print farm.

Not only that but the help given by western countries* to the Syrian rebels also helped ISIS.

* like France

[Vanoi]

And who funds Saudi Arabia?

Oil? You think the US just gives the Saudis money to go around support terror groups? Derp.

The IS formed to fend off the coalition forces intervention in Iraq. Also, you dismantled any chance the current dictators had to put their insurgency down and simply left the locals to their fates.

The IS formed before the Iraq War. Try again.

[trance]

Let us just rejoice and bask in the glory that is GIGN.

Once again they prove themselves to be BAMFs and some of the best in the world in hostage-rescue situations.

They ought to get stats boosts in CS after this .

The situation in Montpelier remains unsolved,a strange day for a jewelry heist.

Be interesting to see if they can have any effect on something like this.

have a rep

[Roma_Victrix]

That meme came with perfect timing, Phier. Nicely done.

That said, Anonymous isn't to be scoffed at or downplayed entirely. They've built a reputation for backing their threats up with action, at least when it comes to blacking out webpages operated by their professed enemies. Perhaps this means they're going after the Twitter accounts used by IS and al-Qaeda? Or their online magazines like Inspire?

Like what? Posting naughty pictures of Jihadists?

I could definitely see an ongoing Anonymous campaign disrupting a lot of the internet recruiting ISIS has done in the last year or so.

Another attack:
Carcassonne, a french parachutist threatened with a machet..."you the guys of 3rd RPIMa[french soldiers] you're the nexts. We will do to you what we did to Charlie Hebdo, Allah Akbar, . we Bip your Bip!" The journalist obviously written this person have a mental disorder. (to qualify an agressor of either "young" or "mental disordered" is very common in french bien pensant discourse, remember it)
Such things considered as neglectable happend on a daily basis. Ambiance.

Assault of GIGN-Dammartin. Official stuff.

[Copperknickers II]

Apparently, in both situations the police were helped by information from inside. They knew that Amedi, the guy in the supermarket, was praying because he hadn't hung up his phone properly.

Also, I was wondering this all through the last couple of days: we now have the answer to why so few people died: apparently the two brothers deliberately targeted Charlie Hebdo and the police, they were not out to harm civilians and indeed they actually met numerous people during their flight and told them as such.

Its called strategy. Its obvious then successful terrorists are ones who have reasonnable objectives.

Merah also have such objectives...and we can also add he was a nice guy who helped old peoples and have a diplome in car bodywork repair.

Nope, do your homework. You are mixing the names. The ISIS formed after the Iraq war.
